The same as when you're asked to not leave your own belongings unattended in an airport or something. It doesn't mean that it's the victims fault that the criminal has committed a crime, but leaving your bags unattended is making it too easy for that criminal to act.
but there is a double standard, when a guy is raped by another guy, no one says "well men shouldn't drink too much. men should be more careful to not drink so much" and you know that's true. I've never heard anyone try to blame a str8 man for getting drunk and getting raped. the media doesn't even like to report male rapes, which also says a lot, because there is also something in our society that men LIKE to hear about women getting raped, it fits into the narrative that women are weak and victims, and that men are powerful and sexual beasts.
